My kitten enjoys his outings in his furry cat carrier. He's always quiet in it (well, apart from announcing when he needs to use a litter tray - useful to know! The bag is washable, just remove the wipe off panels first. It might not stand up to frequent washes though, I noticed some of the stitching started to come undone after the first wash.) I love the way he is cleverly hidden as a black kitten in a black bag. he can see out but noone knows I'm carrying a cat around with me, even dogs (and children) don't seem to be able to sense him nearby. Furbulous.
